For over ten years Factory 49 has provided a greatly-valued platform for experimentation and exposure for artists whose practice is materials-based or process-driven, or whose work sits in the reductive, concrete or non-objective traditions.
Managed and curated by practising artists Michelle Le Dain, Pamela Leung, Chris Packer, Anya Pesce and Lisa Sharp, the program includes two exhibition spaces and an outside wall series, plus exhibition/residency projects in Paris run by one of our original founders, Pam Aitken.

Proposals

Our mission is to provide artists with opportunities to expand their practices, to share and collaborate and to develop connections across Australia and around the world.

Our Sydney program includes the Front Showroom, which runs on a two-week changeover, the smaller Office Space, in which exhibitions go for four weeks, and a fun under-the stairs exterior wall, which changes every three months.

If you have a project that fits in with our non-representational program, send an email to factory49@optusnet.com.au with a brief outline of your practice, examples of the work you wish to exhibit or other details of your proposed project and we'll get back to you with more information.
